Bio
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. ...... .. .. ...... .. .. ...... .. .. ...... .. .. ...... .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .... .... ..LATEST NEWS - FEBRUARY 2010 .. .... We are very excited about 2010, there is already a buzz with fans of NWoBHM as this is the 30th Anniversary of one of the most memorable years for Hard Rock Music... '1980'. As you all know this was the year of the Tygers debut release 'Wildcat' which really established the band as one of the more well known bands from this genre. The album entered the UK charts at number 15 and is regarded as an underground classic although it sold thousands of copies around the world. .... To celebrate this Anniversary the band plan to release a 5 track EP in March 2010 to celebrate the album. Titled "The Wildcat Sessions" it features the current line up playing Robbs five favourite tracks. All these tracks will be included in the 'live' set also throughout 2010. Check out the latest blogs on myspace and website for more information on the EP and how to get your hands on this limited edition release. www.tygersofpantang.com .... The bands Touring schedule for this year will commence in April in Europe and then move onto the UK in May. We have lined up a number of festival appearances for the summer. Please keep checking the website and myspace site for up to date info on confirmed 'live' shows. .... Later in the year the band will enter the studio to start the recording of the new album. The band is currently exchanging ideas and writing music & lyrics. The album has a working title of "Ambush" so again watch for more info as it progresses. .... Finally as always thank you for your support of the band and hopefully 2010 will be a year to remember for both us and you. .... .... ..NEWS - DECEMBER 2009.. .... As always there's many activities going on behind the scenes and a number of other projects the band members are involved with outside the Tygers. At the moment we have Brian out on the road with Uriah Heep, Craig working on the Legends show in the UK and Jack playing his music in the Los Dragons and other various other bands in Italy. This however does not stop the planning and the day to day running of the band and Robb as always is writing riffs daily and is sending out his ideas for consideration. Lyrics are coming through from everybody and suggested song titles are being talked about. As we have previously mentioned the 2010 album has a working title of "Ambush" and Craig has set the initial idea for a fantastic album cover which we have had mock produced and it looks great. There is a bit of Tygers history everywhere on the artwork and we hope you will all love it as we do. Animal Instinct will be a hard album to follow but the new songs will still have that catchy riff based sound that is the Tygers trademark. We hope to experiment a little as well with this album but with plenty of time as we have we can asses the quality of the songs before unleashing the album onto you guys. We would expect a release date of Winter 2010. .... The studio is now booked for the 20th January 2010 to lay down the 5 tracks for the EP to celebrate 30 years of Wildcat. For those who have seen the live show recently you will know the set is strongly based around the first album and as its one of Robbs favourite albums we thought it would be good to get people re-aquainted again with this iconic release. The five songs are yet to be agreed but soon as we have more news on this we will let you know as always. After recording, we will need to Mix & Master the tracks and agree the artwork so we should be ready to ship the final product in March 2010. We will be placing the EP on the webshop for pre-order in January 2010 and offering this to the Tyger Force fan club first. If your not a member of the club then just get in touch via the official website and we will add you to our mailing list. .... As previously announced we have new booking agents representing the band and we are hopefull that an announcement can be made very soon regarding some Italy shows for February 2010. We have always enjoyed playing Italy and this time we hope to get to some new places as well as old. Again as soon as we have some firm news we will let you know. .... The new official Tygers website seems to have gone down well with you guys and the speed of the updates is a credit to both Craig and Dayle. We hope we have captured most of your interests with content on the site but if you have any suggestions then Get in Touch with us, your views and comments are always welcome. We would also like to mention our myspace fansite in Italy, check it out, its fantastic. .... We would like to welcome a new face to the backroom staff at Tygers, we would like to introduce you to Thinny who has agreed to re-design and update the website for us on a more regular basis than we have done before. We understand the importance of an up to date site and there is no better than this guy. Thinny ran the Thunder site for many years so he has vast experience of what you guys want to see. if your a fan of Thunder and you have checked out there site before then you will know what to expect. We want the site more informative and little less sterile so its fantastic to have Thinny on-board. Make sure you check out the site at www.tygersofpantang.com to see the new design etc. .... ..NEWS - JUNE 2009.. .... 2009 has so far been a busy year for the Tygers of Pan Tang and we thought we had a steady plan for the year but after receiving two phone calls we were thrown into chaos once again with schedules, time-scales and more detailed planning meetings taking place. These two phone calls were from The Chronicle in Newcastle to record a Whitley Bay Wembley Antham and Angel Air Records expressing Interest in Realeasing a Delux Version of "Animal Instinct". Both were opportunities that could not be missed so as always we agree to the almost unacheivable projects and knuckle down getting on with the plan. .... Th Chronicle had left it late in contacting us but following some intervention from a music lover in the North East of England and friend of the Journalist involved they made contact 3 weeks prior to the final. The bands association with Whitley Bay comes from the early years when the band were based there, lived there and never failed to promote the Region in interviews etc. We immediately booked the recording studio and set about writing the song. Because of the tight time scale we thought about re-writing "Live for the Day" as this has become a Live favourite and has that Antham Type chorus changing the title to "Live for the Bay". We checked out the previous footie songs by other artists and thought this would be very different to them. The band wrote and recorded the song in a week and it was available for free downloading on Music Glue one week before the final at Wembley which we are pleased to say the Team won 2-0. If you have not heard the song and want this free download you can check it out by forwarding to the Music Glue site via the icon on our Myspace and website Pages. .... The second call was from our old friend Peter at Angel Air Records who has released a couple of Tygers product in the past including "Visions from the Cathouse and "Live in the Roar" asking if we would be interested in releasing a Delux version of Animal Instinct. After some serious dilliberation we agreed as long as the Delux package included some new songs, some older classic songs re-recorded and a free DVD with some unseen footage. We did not want to give you just another standard version of Animal Instinct with slightly better Artwork but rather a whole new package. "Great" this was agreed enthusiasticly and Angel Air agreed for it to be the Labels 300th Release. The schedule then came to us which gave us four weeks to get all the parts to the label for a July 13th release. Back again to tight schedules and more pressure (we love it really). .... We're about to launch three new merchandise designs. We have approved 2 classic Tour shirts from 1980 & 1982 British Tour and also a White T shirt version of Animal Instinct 2009. The Classic Album Cover Designs have now sold out so we thought this would be the natural progression to move onto Tour Classics. The shirts will be available from 9th June from the webshop. These shirts sell out almost immediately so make sure you get in quickly. .... Our hopes for 2009 continue in the same positive manner, we hope to promote 'Animal Instinct (x 2)' in some of the countries we have not yet been to and re-visit some old friends in those countries we have. We ask that you all help spread the word that the Tygers are back on great form once again and for every lover of old school British Hard Rock, 'Animal Instinct' will be one of your albums of 2008/9. The reviews of Animal Instinct from the media have also been superb... Geoff Barton, who was Editor of Sounds and is now the Editor at Large at Classic Rock Magazine commented that if he had to choose from, with only enough money to buy, Def Leppards 'Songs from the Sparkle Lounge', Whitesnakes 'Good to be Bad' or 'Animal Instinct' he would plump for Animal Instinct. We would like you to make your own mind up on this but to be compared is a great honour. Another exceptional review is by Komodo Rock, a UK website for classic rock music who gave the album 9/10. The album continues to sell well and is available in most parts of the world. If you cannot locate this locally then please check out the Amazon sites, HMV sites or buy direct from Cargo Records UK. Please avoid ebay as these just might be Croatian copies which are of dubious quality. .... Be sure to check our website and visit the shop which has a veriety of Tyger items, all of them offical and approved by Tygers of Pan Tang Ltd. Send us an email on the contact page and we will add you to the Tyger Force which is the bands mailing list and news update channel. .... Thank you for checking into the the site to read the latest news on the Tygers, there are so many new friends joining us each month either coming back to the band after many years or new fans who are looking into some of the pioneers of British Hard Rock. If you want to be kept up to speed with News/ Tour Dates etc, please send an email via the contact page at www.tygersofpantang.com and we will add you to the mailing list. What is special about our bulletins for the mailing list is that they are co-ordinated and manged by the Tygers Drummer Craig Ellis so you have direct contact with a band member. ...... ..Alternatively, select the following link to buy Animal Instinct: .. .... ...... ...... ..ARCHIVE NEWS.. .. ..A brief history of the Tygers of Pan Tang.. .... Originally formed by Robb Weir, Brian Dick, Rocky (Richard Laws) and Jess Cox they rapidly built a local following from gigging relentlessly and made their first signing with local independent label Neat Records before MCA gave them a major record deal. After several singles, they released their first album Wild Cat in 1980. The album reached No:18 in Britain on the first week of its release. .... John Sykes was added as second guitarist while Jess Cox sought pastures new and was replaced by Persian Risk vocalist Jon Deverill. This line up released the classic album: Spellbound in 1981. The album was critically acclaimed and loved by the fans. Battling against the odds and a lack of record company support the band quickly recorded there third album, the under-rated Crazy Nights. Shortly after recording and just before the start of a European tour John Sykes decided to leave the band so they approached ex-Penetration guitarist Fred Purser. .... Tygers Of Pan Tang's fourth album The Cage (1982) was their most accomplished effort and things looked promising. Unfortunately the record company support was lacking and were not prepared to promote the band unless they agreed to play more cover recordings (following the band's hit with "Love Potion No. 9"). The band tried to break free from their contract but MCA's demands exceeded the willingness of any other record company to pay to free the band and the band broke up in frustration. .... However, this was not the end of the band. They were invited to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Tygers of Pan Tang and the 10th Wacken Open Air. Jess Cox and Robb Weir, backed up by members of the band Blitzkrieg performed a memorable show. Recording tapes of their performance gave rise to the Live at Wacken album. .... In 2001, Robb Weir decided to reform the band, despite being the only original member. Robb wanted to keep the name alive and play for the fans. The new Tygers line-up were Dean Robertson (lead guitar), Brian West (bass) and Craig Ellis (drums) who remain to this day and are now the longest ever serving members of the band together with Robb. They released Mystical through Z-Records and in 2004 Noises in the Cathouse. .... Later the same year, Richie Wicks left and was replaced by Italian vocalist Jacopo Meille from the band Mantra. .... 2007 was a challenging and exciting time for the Tygers, the plan set was to raise the activity and profile of the band however, in order to get the fanbase back to its rightful levels the product had to complement this ambition. The 5 track EP Back & Beyond was very well received by both the fans and the Industry alike and the two new tracks: Bury the Hatchet and Live for the Day were the perfect taster of what is to come in 2008. .... Animal Instinct was completed with Ben Matthews of Thunder having undertaken the mixing duty once again after the fantastic job he did with the Back & Beyond EP. The album has 11 tracks of classic British Hard Rock from start to finish with distribution in the hands of Cargo Records. .... We ask that you check in regularly for up to date news, check out the website www.tygersofpantang.com and certainly come and see a show or two if we are playing close by. The band love to give value for money and spend a lot of time seeking out new talent to bring on tour. We also ask the venue to invite a local band so it will almost always be a three band bill. Also check out the webshop and grab yourself some merchandise or the EP etc. .... ..2009 will be a great year for Tygers of Pan Tang and fans of Rock.......
